明日から秋季シンポ

いかん、このところなんやら色んな締め切りに追われていて、本当にやるべきことを全てやっているのか不安になってくる。で、そんなことを言っているうちに、気付くと明日から発生生物学会の秋季シンポジウムが始まるやん。。。自分が担当している企画セッションは明日一日目の夕方。まぁ１時間の短いセッションだけど、スピーカーの皆さん cutting-edge で exciting なお話をしてくれるはず。ということで、秋季シンポに参加される方は、ぜひ以下のセッション「Early Development of Cancer」をお楽しみください。ちなみに、秋季シンポは「日本語でしっかり議論する」とホームページ言ってますが、このセッションだけは、このすぐ後にプリナリーレクチャーをしてくれるDr. DSにちょっぴり気を遣ってEnglishでいくことになっております。

Early Development of Cancer

Oct. 19th, 17:20～18:20

Malignant tumors are caused by uncontrolled proliferation of transformed mutant cells that have lost the ability to maintain tissue integrity. The process of tumor development in which tissue organization is progressively disrupted appears to be contrast to embryogenesis or organogenesis. As cancer is alternatively dubbed as “neoplasm,” however, tumors arise as newly developing cells in a tissue. In fact, several issues in development biology such as growth and proliferation, angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition are also can be seen in the process of tumor progression. In this session, we would like to discuss the early development of neoplasms which has been poorly understood.
